Application filed May 4, 1925. Serial No. 27,865.

My invention relates to separators or centrifugal fixtures for use in extracting or separating moisture andv solids from steam, air and gas lines, and the like; and, the bjects of the invention are to provide a comcnn'rnrrnean FIXTURE.

bined centrifugal separator and drip pocket Preferably the latter is integrally united which shall be adapted for use in both horiwith the casing 2 by arms 16' and its periphzontal and vertical lines or pipes and to ery 16" is finished to receive the ring of provide a separator which shall be of simple, 1 economical and convenient construction.

of little weight and highly efiicient.

The structure embodying the invention and the manner in which the aforegoing 15 objects are attained will be clearly understood on reference to the drawing that forms art of this specification. In said draw'ng ig. 1 is a vertical section of a centrifuge fixture embodying my invention as it ap- 20 pears when used 1n a horizontal line.

2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 Fig. 1, but on a reduced scale; Fig 3 is transverse section on the line 3-3" of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 illustrates the use of the fixture in a vertical position.

The present invention is distinguished or characterized, first by a substantially cylindrical casing 2 which one end, a hole 4 in hole 5 in its side;

hole 6 adjacent the hole 4, through which the heavier substances that are collected in at Fig. trifugally discharged into the of 8, leaving the purified flui a through the outlet 4. For the reception of blades 13.

which shall be of. relatively small size and enters the cavity 17 surrounding the multithe heavier substances are centrifugally collected'upon the periphery of the whirling fluid body and are carried forward and cenrace or bowl (1 to depart the heavier substances a closed pocket or trap is provided at the outer end of the I tangential discharge opening or nozzle 6. The momentum of the heavier substances carries them through the nozzle and they contains a hole 3 in settle in the trap 18.- The latter may be the other end and a emptied by any suitable means, working or In addition there is a worked at intervals.

In Fig. 1 the fiul d supply pipe is shown 3' and the outlet pipe at 4'.

When thus a manner about to be described, are disused in a horizontal position the fixture is charged. Preferabl the casing is made in 35 two parts, to wit, t e main body part and the separable end 2', these parts being connected by the flanges shown and the bolts supply pipe 5" and leads slug pocket 5' from the circular bowl or caving 3. The .trap 18 remains as before, al-

Between the shoulders 9 and waiyls1 .bolts 7 are tightened. The ring contams provided with a slug pocket 5, the end of which is fastened in the opening 5. When the fixture is used in a vertical position the enters the opening 5 and the is installed at the end openhanging from the end of the nozzle 6. is fixture may be found to be highly efiicient and of very" general. utility.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters '1 45 a central hole. 12 which is considerably Patent:-
